Earlier in the season we’d have lost games like yesterday, but we’ve found a way to dig in and ground out ugly results.
I’m a big believer in needing a strong spine and with a decent keeper now in situ along with the properly fit Shiels and Burrow along with the ever dependable Platt, we have that strong spine at last.
Add to that the quality and energy around them, particularly Chadwick and Nixon, albeit loanees, we’ve got players out there who are giving it everything.
Another big plus for me is if Zak Mills being fit. I appreciate he’s not a box to box midfielder, but he sees passes others don’t think of and his previously playing at a better level still shines through.
My glass of definitely more full than it was in December!
